  • GlobalGiving is a marketplace for goodness - where you can browse ways to help others around the world, pick the ones you are most passionate about, and give to the solution. GlobalGiving connects people like you with great projects you might not otherwise find. Much like eBay's approach to online commerce, GlobalGiving is changing the way people give. They work with a network of well-run organizations and carefully research their projects - gathering detailed information on the project leaders, as well as the projects' objectives and expected outcomes. Also, they make it simple for you to give to these projects and track the impact of your generosity.
  • GlobalGiving is an online marketplace that connects donors with grassroots projects in the developing world. Potential donors can browse and select from a wide offering of projects that are organized by geography or by themes such as health care, the environment and education. Upon choosing a project, a donor can contribute any amount using a credit/debit card, check, PayPal, or stock transfer. Gift registries can be set up for special events, and donors can "give" any project as a gift. GlobalGiving funds itself by requesting the donor add a 15% donation to GlobalGiving to their gift or by taking a 15% transaction fee from the amount pledged to the charity. These contributions directly support the entrepreneurial work of global project leaders who are bringing innovative, empowering solutions to challenging social problems at the local community level. In order to create an interactive relationship between the project and donors, project leaders send regular updates to their donors regarding the progress and impact of the project and donors are invited to submit comments. All donations made to projects go through the GlobalGiving Foundation, a registered 5013 entity, and are fully tax-deductible in the United States. Wikipedia
